Welcome to Cartabella

My ETSY Shop and my PORTFOLIO are just a click away


CIAO!  Benvenuto!  Thanks for dropping-in to my studio without walls!


I'm an artist in residence here at Cartabella Studio.  This is "myspace" for sharing.  It's a room with a view.  Like sitting on a terrace in Toscana (or a deck in Atlanta), finding a pause that is refreshing.


This is your opportunity to peek inside my creativity gathering spot.  My portfolio is just a click away.


Please linger . . . savor . . . and come back again.  GRAZIE MILLE.

PAINTING WITH BONNARD. One of the founders of the turn-of-the-century Les Nabis movement, Pierre Bonnard used intense and close value colors. We studied his technique by personal interpretation of one of his interiors---one of his many "open window" paintings. When I discovered that quite a few of my scraps and strips from old watercolors were close to his palette, I ended up with a collage approach to my own study. Other Intermezzo ladies painstakingly mixed colors from their own palettes to mimic Bonnard's choices. Beautiful results!
